While suffering huge financial losses due to continuous strikes carried out by Russia's warplanes against the supply lines of ISIL in Syria, that have been extensively used for oil smuggling,
Tayyip Erdogan has decided to take under his personal control ISIL held oil fields in Iraq, taking advantage of the fact that Russia has not been fighting the Islamic State in this Arab country yet. To pursuit this goal
Turkish president sent its armed forces to northern Iraq to occupy the area of Ba'shiqah near the city of Mosul, which has been controlled by the terrorists of the Islamic State. As it has been reported by
CNN Turk, Turkish armed forces deployed around
25 tanks in that area. The indisputable aim of Erdogan's actions is an attempt to protect these oil fields in Iraq, that provide ISIL with a source of income, taking advantage of his position of the TAF's commander-in-chief.
Allegedly, Ankara is going to build a training camp for Iraqi Kurdish militia - Peshmerga or at least it says so to justify an act of armed aggression, however,
according to Reuters, this area is still in the hands of ISIL terrorists.
Baghdad's official response to this act of war was a
pretty harsh one. According to the Iraqi Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Turkish military "entered the Iraqi territory without the request or authorization from the Iraqi federal authorities and this is
considered a serious breach of Iraqi sovereignty and does not conform with The Iraqi authorities call on Turkey to respect good neighbourly relations and to
withdraw immediately from the Iraqi territory."
Comment: The backers of the multi-polar world are quietly undercutting the Empire's support system without firing a shot.
